Super fresh, loaded, and jam-packed with flavor. The tacos gobernadores were another 10/10: cheesy, savory, with perfectly tender shrimp. I also tried Sinaloa-style machaca for the first time, served with refried beans and queso fresco. It was a little on the drier side, but still delicious and packed with veggies. The camarones a la diabla had such a flavorful sauce without being overly spicy, served with rice, beans, and flour tortillas. And of course, their tasty micheladas paired perfectly with everything! Definitely check out El Sinaloense and thank me later! One waitress was a lil rude passive aggressive but the next 1 that actually took care of us was very attentive , friendly and helpful.

We actually asked for one of the dishes to be replaced, thinking maybe it was just a bad batch, but the replacement came out just as salty as the first one. At that point, there wasn't much we could do. The chefs gotta lay off the salt And the water... I honestly don't know what happened there, but it tasted like I was drinking straight from a water hose attached to the la river bed . I've had better-tasting water in Mexico. The meals were also way overpriced for the quality and quantity we received. As someone who genuinely appreciates Mexican food, this experience was especially disappointing. I'm sorry, but based on what I was served, I just can't consider this genuine Mexican food. I can't recommend this place If you're hungry and looking for a good Mexican meal, I'd suggest searching for another place and skipping this one.

Quick trip to Bellflower and were there i was lucky because there were only a few people there when we arrived, but once I stepped in line I swear 20 people showed up LOL!!! The wife wanted the Taquitos Loaded with a Large Pepino Aguafresca, I ordered the hardshell taco plate and Large Jamica the taco plate comes with 3 tacos, rice and beans.

If it weren't for the very loud music playing, I would not have known this was a Mexican restaurant. We ordered Fish and Shrimp Ceviche tostadas, but it was ok not the best I ever had.

What prompts M E Perihuete to soak a hard Tostada shell with water? unbelievable! The Chilaquiles were bad. They were so spicy I could not taste my food. Overall, the service was bad the lady who served us was busy laughing and giggling with the male customers instead of attending to her tables. I have to say the obvious about the waitresses here, to be as nice as I can put it, their lips stand out as plungers, the chest, and behind well, so obvious they were not normal... The service was bad and the food was not the best. Pricey. Plenty of parking.

From the chilaquiles to the mojarra. We usually get a wet carne asada burrito, a chicken gringa, and los chilaquiles verdes. Today we ordered the mojarra, a chicken huarache and the chilaquiles. Bomb! Highly recommend all of these items. La agua de horchata is also very tasty. It's definitely homemade and not that powder one most places have. We've had their agua de pepino, which we love, and their tamarindo. All taste homemade and not too sweet (except the horchata). Now, the frijoles are fire!! My toddler absolutely LOVES them and they're vegan friendly! What my dad loved more than the food were the workers. Everyone is super friendly and welcoming. We go so much that the employees know us by name! I can call to place an order and they recognize my voice and know our usual order. Shoutout Julie! She's always so accommodating and is always on the move. Everyone's a hard worker there but Julie stands out the most. The restaurant itself is a pretty good size. I will say, weekends, it can get pretty packed so come early ish to ensure you get a table. They have their own parking lot too. There were some changes after COVID...some downsizing of the menu and staff. At times they can be a bit slow but that's merely on the amount of staff members they have. They're always working so hard to ensure items are coming out fast so we never mind it. The ambiance is pretty laidback and chill.
